Ace of the Dragon Division Chapter 715 - Rigidity bends easily

Chapter 715: Rigidity bends easily (Part One)

The old man was not confident that Xu Cheng’s corpse would be sufficient to extend his colleagues’ life.

So he felt that he should try to persuade him a little further.

“I think it’s negotiable, you don’t have to ask for death yet because I haven’t said what I need you to do.”

“I know. You guys are at an old age where your bones are past repair, and I also know that Huaxia is your next target.” Xu Cheng said, “So, no way! I’m not great enough to save the country, but I won’t give enemies a chance either.”

“It seems that Satan has told you everything he knows.” The old man looked at Xu Cheng and said, “What counts as an enemy? Do you think we were wrong? We have been enslaved for so many years, and now we can control our own destiny, so can’t we fight back? There are only two choices in life, either struggle to climb up, or fall. What choice do you think we had in those times of war and chaos? I thought you should know how we feel the most, I’ve read your resume, so I know that if you hadn’t struggled and worked hard, you wouldn’t be worthy of your wife, and you wouldn’t have the wealth and status you have now, nor be capable of doing what you have done in the Land of the Mercenaries. Do you dare to say those things were any different from what we’ve done? There is no right or wrong in this world, only strong or weak. Laws can decide whether you are right or wrong, but do you know that the law is actually endorsed by that group of dictators?”

“You’re wrong because you forgot where you came from!” Xu Cheng said in a deep voice, “A person’s bottom line should be their nation! The difference between you and I is that I never wanted to get to the point where I would stand against my country, and I have never done things that would harm its interests.”

“Ridiculous!” The old man snorted, “Have you experienced how your nation made you a eunuch? Over the years, have you ever thought about how the rest of us felt when scholars studied the eunuchs with judgmental eyes? Those who fled the country had something to look forward to for the next generation, but what did we have? Any sentimental attachments to that land was gone, and now you’re talking to me about patriotism when there was nothing left? Haven’t you been hitting the M Nation all you want? You have your position, and we have our interests, and none of us are wrong, except that your existence has stood in the way of our interests. The Capital Society is much bigger than you think, and if it’s gone, then the world economy will go backwards at least twenty years! What’s wrong with global capitalization? Everyone has money and goals, and we are not so much dictators but administrators managing the countries. Look at the countries we are managing and tell me which one doesn’t have a fast-growing economy.”

“In that case, then doesn’t the degree of expansion in Huaxia scare you? You are afraid that if it replaces the M Nation, the world will change, and as long as the M Nation stays strong, you will be able to use it to threaten other countries into economic cooperation.” Xu Cheng then said, “Therefore, Huaxia must be under your control, or at least under your surveillance. So over the years, the Capital Society has recruited some of Huaxia’s magnates, expecting that their social status linked to the government could help you achieve your plan.”

The old man looked at Xu Cheng as he didn’t expect him to have such insights.

“You have indeed understood the situation very thoroughly, but so what? Since the birth of the Capital Society, it’s not like there hasn’t been anyone who wanted to destroy us for the past hundred years. There have been two disobedient presidents of the M Nation who ended up dead, and Hitler also wanted to destroy this power through genocide, and what was the result? Not only did they die, but they took the blame. And look at the generations of British heirs who tried to expel the Capital Society’s infiltration of their country, and now the entire royal family are just puppets! So what does this mean? Capitalism is the most powerful tool to expand the world, it’s the trend.”

“No need to brainwash me, that’s your business. All I know is that as long as I am alive, any foreigner who dares to trespa.s.s the country will be executed from afar!” Xu Cheng said.

“With your strength, you can completely join us in this game brought about by capitalism, and we could offer you a council member position.”

Xu Cheng laughed out loud. “Well then, don’t you guys want to extend your lifespan? Join me in the Deviant Corp and I can also give you a council member position, it’ll offer you capital and money that you can’t take with you after death. I can extend your lives, so why not come back and serve the country?”

The old man looked at Xu Cheng and said, “Your Deviant Corp is not powerful enough, and with your financial resources, if you were to merge into the Capital Society, you probably won’t even be a council member. It’s scale is nothing compared to the Capital Society, and you’re just playing a game, so let’s cut the cr*p. If you can extend our lives, we could give you everything you want except for what would harm our interest.”

Xu Cheng: “If I say that you’re not allowed to invade Huaxia, can you do it?”

The old man: “No, because we don’t have a lot of say in this, and global control is the purpose of the Capital Society. No one has been able to change it for centuries, and whoever wants to leave the game dies! Including that, if we were to join the Deviant Corp, we will also be killed.”

Xu Cheng: “Who can kill you?”

“There are many things that you don’t understand, and you don’t have to know,” The old man said.

Xu Cheng said, “You’ve told me so much, aren’t you afraid that revealing these secrets would count as treason to your organization?”

“Not really,” said the old man confidently. “Because you won’t take the secret out, you are just a dead man tonight.”

After saying that, the old man floated over in the dim operating room, and when he tugged Xu Cheng’s arm with one hand, trying to restrain him, Xu Cheng grabbed his wrist and swung him flying towards the door.

The old silver haired man slammed on the door hard, and he was a little surprised that Xu Cheng’s strength was so strong!

“Didn’t expect that, did you?” Xu Cheng said, “This is the strength of a Deviant, but you should be glad that I am injured now, or else that blow just now would be enough to smash you into a pulp of flesh.”

“There are no absolutes in this world.” The old man stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. “Rigidity bents easily.”

He said that as he moved closer, and his fingers wrapped around Xu Cheng’s arm as he slapped his palm onto Xu Cheng’s chest. It seemed like he didn’t use any power, but a strong internal force shook Xu Cheng’s internal organs.

Xu Cheng’s body flew back and crashed into the operating table, flipping all the surrounding lamps into the ground. His heart was already injured from the blood loss and that just now almost killed him.

He spurted out a mouthful of blood as he kicked at an equipment and smashed it into the old man.

The old man struck the flying machine with both palms, sending it flying away.

Xu Cheng leapt from the window in a smooth motion and ran towards the distant forest to escape.

“Where do you think you can escape to!” The old man shouted in a low voice as he then jumped on the tops of the forest trees like a dragonfly on water as he chased after Xu Cheng.
